It would be nice it there was a feature in elm to have a system alias file that elm understood. I know there is /usr/lib/aliases that is read by sendmail, but this does not expand the list of users in the header. -David- -- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.

Or even the configuration output :-). One of the configuration questions is: How many system wide aliases. Elm supports both user and system wide aliases. However, due to the added information needed by elm, this file is not the same as the smail or the sendmail aliases. In 2.2 we moved the location of the file, but in 2.1 it's in the mail spool directory. If root runs newalias, it will update the system file. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.
